The song's popularity has extended beyond YouTube, as it also broke records on TikTok, reaching 2 billion views in record time, and on Spotify, where it hit 1 billion streams faster than any K-pop solo artist's song.

In response to the overwhelming success, ROSÉ expressed her gratitude to fans, stating, "I’m truly thankful for all the love and support. This wouldn’t have been possible without you!"

Directed by Daniel Ramos and Bruno Mars, the visually stunning music video has captivated fans worldwide. With this incredible achievement, ROSÉ continues to solidify her place as a dominant force in the global music industry.
